bobby131313 Forum Dad United States 24161 Posts	Posted 12/18/2016 10:01 am I'd appreciate some help, I see these all over ebay (plated) and am wondering if they are actually a counterfeit of something officially minted somewhere. I probably won't respond until tonight I'm going out soon to spend some time with my daughter and grandkids. Shop CCF Members on eBay. Report this Post to the Staff

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9864 Posts	Posted 12/18/2016 12:02 pm The center of the obverse is a rendering of the seal of The Knights Templar, two knights on one horse, "seal of the soldiers of Christ" in the legend. The rest is basically gibberish on this one. Over the years many, many items have been struck using this seal as their focus. I don't think any are actually "official" "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Edited by DBM 12/18/2016 2:57 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34410 Posts	Posted 12/18/2016 1:03 pm hmm I can't find an original of this, although I do note that these replicas are available on no-no for $0.30 each. The rev legend had a url in there at one point before the garbling. Perhaps they have degraded the devices and legend sufficiently that this is no longer a replica?
